Problems solved by technology

Unavoidably, when the ITO film is used as a resistive touch panel, the sheet resistance of ITO needs to be controlled at 300-500Ω / cm 2 , so the thickness of ITO should not be too thick. The commonly used ITO thickness is about 10-50nm, but the literature does not discuss the influence of ZnO buffer layer on the crystallinity of ITO when the thickness of ITO is reduced to less than 50nm.

Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing transparent conductive films with crystalline structures. The method comprises the following steps: (1) after a substrate enters a vacuum cavity, the temperature of the substrate is maintained to the room temperature or no more than 50 DEG C; (2) the magnetron sputtering method is utilized to deposit a transparent conductive film on one surface of the substrate; (3) the magnetron sputtering method is utilized to deposit another transparent conductive film with different components on the transparent conductive film prepared in the step (2); and (4) less than 160 DEG C of heat treatment is performed to the substrate with the transparent conductive films. The method of the invention mainly utilizing the stacking of multiple different transparent conductive films to obtain a transparent conductive film layer with good crystallinity and high light transmission and stability under the condition that the substrate is not heated and less than 160 DEG C of heat treatment is adopted. The method of the invention is particularly suitable to deposit the transparent conductive film with high strength and scratch resistance on heat-sensitive substrates such as the plastic substrate or the plastic sheet.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a transparent conductive film, in particular to a method of stacking and depositing two or more layers of different transparent conductive films. Under certain process conditions, it also has a crystalline phase structure, and is suitable for the method of manufacturing a transparent conductive film with a crystalline structure by depositing a transparent conductive film with a crystalline phase on a plastic substrate or a flexible sheet. Background technique [0002] There are many types of transparent conductive films, and metal oxide films are currently dominant in industrial applications. Among them, there are three series of commonly used metal oxide films: indium oxide (In 2 o 3 ), zinc oxide (ZnO) and tin oxide (SnO 2 ). These materials have the conductivity characteristics of n-type semiconductors due to their own defects such as oxygen vacancies. If doping with additional high-valent atoms, ...
